aminolevulinic acid and Cancer of Duodenum

aminolevulinic acid has been researched along with Cancer of Duodenum in 4 studies

Aminolevulinic Acid: A compound produced from succinyl-CoA and GLYCINE as an intermediate in heme synthesis. It is used as a PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY for actinic KERATOSIS.
5-aminolevulinic acid : The simplest delta-amino acid in which the hydrogens at the gamma position are replaced by an oxo group. It is metabolised to protoporphyrin IX, a photoactive compound which accumulates in the skin. Used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt)in combination with blue light illumination for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratosis of the face or scalp.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Four patients with known gastric adenoma (n = 1), macroscopically undetected but histologically proven esophageal squamous cell cancer (n = 1), suspected early cancer of the esophagus (n = 1), and multiple duodenal adenomas (n = 1) were sensitized with 5-aminolevulinic acid administered orally (15 mg/kg body weight)."3.70Endoscopic photodynamic diagnosis: oral aminolevulinic acid is a marker of GI cancer and dysplastic lesions.
